The setup pulls printer entities like camera feeds, print status, and error codes into HASS, enabling automations such as print completion notifications and automatic power cutoff via smart plugs after idle periods. The author also built a fully local voice assistant pipeline using a GPT-OSS-20B model with Whisper and Piper, running on a GTX 1080 via MoE offloading, to control the printers by voice without cloud dependency. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
